Why doesn't every planet have a moon?​
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Up first are Mercury and Venus. Neither of them has a moon. Because Mercury is so close to the Sun and its gravity, it wouldn't be able to hold on to its own moon. Any moon would most likely crash into Mercury or maybe go into orbit around the Sun and eventually get pulled into it.

You throw a glove straight upward to celebrate a victory. Its initial kinetic energy is K and it reaches a maximum height h. Wha
Rasek [7]

Answer:

K/2

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that the sum of the kinetic and potential energies is a constant at any point.

At maximum height, the glove has purely potential energy but at the bottom, it has purely kinetic energy.

The potential energy at the top = kinetic energy at the bottom. The potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

At half height, this potential energy is

PE = \frac{1}{2}mgh

At this height, PE + KE = Constant = KE at bottom or PE at maximum height.

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mgh +KE

KE = \frac{1}{2}mgh = K/2

Irina-Kira [14]
We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.

The bending of light as it passes into a transparent material of different optical intensity is known as A. conversion. B. aberr
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<em>D. refraction</em>

Explanation:

Refraction: Refraction is change in direction of light rays. Refraction occurs whenever light rays travels from a transparent medium to another transparent medium of different density. The abrupt change in direction at the surface of the surface of the two media is referred to as <em>refraction</em><em>.</em>

<em>Refraction occurs when light travels from air to glass or from air to liquid.</em>

<em>Laws Of Refraction:</em>

(i) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal, all at the point of incident lies in the same plane.

(ii) The ratio of the sine of the angle of incident to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media.

<em>Thus the right option is D. refraction</em>
